NUMBER I2.
The Political Bum.

If the Creator ever made anything
more contemplate than the political
bum, he favored humanity by not
turning it loose on the community,
and it is the fact that this creature
works periodically that makes him
endurable. There are a great many
OF him, or in other words, he works
in great many ways.
We might first consider the "NIon-
ey Borrowing Bum" He strikes
the candidate. He ingratiates him
self into favor, if possible. He in
forms the candidate of the number of
men he controls in matters political.
He may even produce letters pur-
posely prepared and graciously map
out plan by which a whole town
ship may be secured. He is the soul
of earneStness-the paragon of sim
cerity. He will speak of availability
and profess not only to have supera-
bundant influence in his own party
but will contend that large cOntin-
gent of the opposition is subserYient
to his will. The picture he draws is
enchanting and the candidate who is
not posted will congratulate himself
on the bonanza struck. The candi-
date is not kept long in ignorance as
to how much this thing is going to
cost; or rather, what favor the
"bum" will ask in return for this
service. The "bum" mildly suggests
that in the course of human events it
has become necessary for him to ne
gOtiate loan, and this demanded of
the candidate on a sliding scale, and
the bum comes down so rapidly that
the candidate is often inclined to
meet him about the five-dOllar point,
and once and forever the business is
ended, and the bum is ready to open
negotiations with another candidate
for the same Office and in the same
political party. This fellow should
perambulate.
The "Ten-cent Bum" is, perhaps,
as obnoxious, but not as dangerous.
The prevailing price of drink of
Whiskey gives the sucker" away,
and he often intercepts hasty iudg-
ment by announcing the purpose of
his asking to be just that anticipated
in the fixed price," Should the can
dldate visit bar room he will find
in some places long line of eager
eXpectants who believe that they are
entitled to the consideration of "set
up" The barkeeper sometimes in-
geniously arran2es matters to the
great accommodation of these dis
tinguished and characteristic citizens.
There are places where a close OBJ
server could calculate the expenses of
a candidates canvass by watching
carefully the size of the crowd that
fits FROM one bar-room to another
and then multiply the number in the
crowd by the number of bar-r0omS
IN the town, and this product by ten,
1t will give the expenses the candi-
date had to stand in that place,
chargeable to the "liquid account"
How many votes this made the cam
didate largely depends ON whetner
he was the last to strike the town or
NOT. The ten-cent bum should be
sent to the tread mill, and the candi-
date who "mOkeys" with hun should
lose the support of the people and
will lose it.-Greens6tDg Record.

Give Me Back NV BOy.

The bartender sits half asleep tip

Two or three stupid customers are
waiting for the effects of their drink
ing to Subside sufficiently to give
them strength or courage to start for
home. Upon bench over in a dark
corner lies one dead drunk. The tai
low candles sputter and burn up sud-
denly as the outer door is slowly
pushed open. A pale and sad-faced
woman steps IN. There are traces of
beauty upon her face, but tears have
worn great furrOws down her cheeks
and washed away their bloom. As
the thin shawl falls back from her
head, we see diSheveled and gray
locks of what was once beautiful hair.
She steps slowly up to the bar-tend-
er and asks in a dazed and beWilder-
ed way, "Where is my boy ?" He
stolidly points to the bench oyer in
the corner. She approaches it. My
hoy! No; my boy was fair and beau

To-day there are thousands in the

mother to hear. He is ashamed
himself, but 1t Is so much easier to

What silent plea do we read in the
mothers tears? ? Only this, Give

Let US go down this narrow street
or this back alley. See this poor
hOvel. Rags take the place of glass
in the windows. 1t looks gloomy
and dreary! Sitting alone in the
darkness and the cold is another
mother. She has nothing beautiful
about her, no luxury that money
could buy: but she would be willing
to endure poverty, and cold and
hunger, if she had her boy, her once
noble boy, by her side. He would
be sunshine enough. She would be
the richest woman in the land if she
had him. Now she has almost ceas-

Running : Locomotive with Gas.

MEADvtLLE, Pa, April ll.-Leopold Mann
boulg's experiment of running locomotive
with gas manufactured upon the tender, was
tried here to-day and pronounced de-
cided success. While the engine stood in the
railroad shop, steam was generated to seven
ty-five pounds by means of natural gas, and
then the manufactured gas was turned on.
In the bottom of the fire box was a pile of
fire brick, upon which the lighted gas, which
burned with fury was turned through a two
and one-half inch pipe. In short time the
steam arose to 100 pounds, having done SO at
the rate of about five pounds per minute
Several loaded cars we're coupled to the loco
motive, and a run at full speed was made for
Assistance of six miles, during which run the
steam did not fall back one pound. Railroad
officials here are very :.luch pleased with the
invention. Lima oil was used, and the
amount consumed was about four gallons per
hour.

4 Belief That They WIN Enforce the
Treaty or 1918 to Its Fall Extent.

Treaty OF 1918 to Its Full Extent.
ST., JOHN, N. B., April II The action Of
Che Dominion cruiser Vigilant, in giving
chase of Beaver harbor, Wednesday, to an
American fisherman In search OF bait, is con-
sidered here to be convincing proof that the
Canadian government does not intend TO re-
lax any of the provisions Of the treaty of
1875 but it will enforce all its sections with a
great stringency as last season. It was gem
erly agreed among Canadian fishermen that
this section Of the treaty relating to the sale
Of bait would not be enforced this year, but
since Friday last their minds have been dis
abused Of this idea. A Canadian fisherman
says that there has been good deal of bait
purchased from the bay Of Funday fleet dur
ing the winter. The bark fishermen go to
Eastport and remain there, while the quaddy
boats, with licenses to touch and trade, pro-
coed to the Canadian feet and prepare the
bait. The fishermen VINO sell the bait know
for what purpose it is to be used, but as they
are to sell they ask no questions.
The fishing schooner which the Vigilant
chased, was vessel of about ninety tons,
and hailed from Eastport. Her name is not
yet known She had come out of Black
Harbor about the same time the cutter
emerged from Beaver Harbor. She was
heading towards the fleet, and was lowering
her sails when the captain of the Fisherman
observed the cruiser bearing down upon him.
The Vigilant was then about six miles dis
tant, but as the wind was free from the
southeast she was rapidly nearing her
quarry. Without waiting to purchase bait
or even inquire the price of it, the fishermen
set all sail AMI STRUCK out for Eastport The
cruiser kept up the chase past Head Harbor
and well up Qualdy river before she aban-
doned it. The Vigilant, which was receiving
supplies here, sailed for the cruising ground
last night. Capt. Mclean says he is deter
mined to MAKE prisoners of American fisher
men who violate treaty obligations so that
the fishermen have only themselves to bla ne
If they should be captured. 1t is reported
that the General Middleton, which was taken
out Of commission is again to be pressed into
the service as a fishery cruiser.
